The amount of IGF-1 produced by milk is so minute compared to the human body that produces more IGF-1 naturally on a daily basis than milk will. We should be Dissecting IGF-1 not rBST.Adam VanDolsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418344282633446047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109681358420328680.post-50370594363348297122013-03-09T16:42:45.581-06:002013-03-09T16:42:45.581-06:00I was looking up organic versus conventional milk ...I was looking up organic versus conventional milk and came across your blog. I really trust and appreciate your explanations. I have grown up on and still continue to drink conventional milk. BUT, I have been a little confused and have been toying with the idea of buying organic for my family. After readying this, I am going to continue to buy conventional milk for my family.<br /><br />Thank you and I appreciate your blog! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109681358420328680.post-22208373509182896702012-09-18T13:59:33.867-05:002012-09-18T13:59:33.867-05:00William -
I appreciate your level-headed approach...William -<br /><br />I appreciate your level-headed approach on the subject. <br /><br />But . . .<br /><br />Essentially rBST is a hormone, the same as say, testosterone. Physical beings produce a wide variety of hormones and when man &quot;tweaks them&quot; we increase an outcome.<br /><br />However, the use of steroids in humans is illegal because ...?<br /><br />And while my use of steroids wouldn&#39;t be OK, it is OK to put this stuff in cows and consume their output . . . but not if it&#39;s raw - that&#39;s a crime in many states.<br /><br />I&#39;m sorry, but no - when it comes to food we ought to stick with what the good Lord gave us. When &quot;man&quot; starts thinking he knows better ... has anything good EVER come from that?<br /><br />All the best to you dude -<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109681358420328680.post-26477475085901762172012-01-27T11:18:20.607-06:002012-01-27T11:18:20.607-06:00I clicked over from Alabama Bloggers, and was deli...I clicked over from Alabama Bloggers, and was delighted to read about your dairy farming. We always use organic milk and will look for your brand to purchase. We are a homeschooling family, and I would love to see if you&#39;d be willing to let us visit your farm one day. We&#39;d love to learn more about the process of getting our milk.The Hill Hangouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013948144953196413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109681358420328680.post-35561138390432871082012-01-25T19:23:02.471-06:002012-01-25T19:23:02.471-06:00Unknown,

I&#39;m happy that our industry provides rBST-free options that you can enjoy!William D.

I realize the industry and government line is that these are safe. But we won&#39;t really know, will me, until we&#39;ve done true scientific experiments that strictly control everything except rBST supplements in dairy. That&#39;s effectively impossible (or extremely difficult) in an era that&#39;s full of all sorts of chemically-enhanced food and environmental substances.<br /><br />I&#39;d rather not be an experimental guinea pig for industrial farming methods (to the extent I have any control over what I consume). <br /><br />I realize that you&#39;ve said your dairy hasn&#39;t used rBST in over 10 years. Good for Gilmer Dairy Farm.<br /><br />I can only deliver up my own excellent health as evidence of the success of my approach to how I consume food. Correlation does not equate to causation, so I have no proof. But I&#39;ll stick with what&#39;s working for me. No rBST to the extent I can avoid intake of dairy containing rBST.<br /><br />We need more small dairy farmers and small family farmers who care about their customers. Thanks for being there and thanks for providing dairy products.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616986132369294413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109681358420328680.post-65326426035116677862012-01-25T17:03:23.409-06:002012-01-25T17:03:23.409-06:00Anonymous,
I apologize for the lack of clarity in...Anonymous,<br /><br />I apologize for the lack of clarity in my answer. We have not used supplemental rBST on our dairy farm in many years. Additionally, we later signed an affidavit pledging that we would not use it on our farm as part of the marketing agreement between our dairy cooperative and its customers (dairy processors).<br /><br />As for my statement that all milk and dairy products at the retail level are safe, I say that because I truly believe it. I base my opinion on my own experience, my own review of scientific food studies, and the professional opinions of dieticians and food scientists I trust. I am not offended if you or others don’t simply take my (or the FDA’s) word for it, and would encourage everyone to take a look at the many available study findings and opinions as a part of their own opinion-forming process.<br /><br />There are MANY different choices in the grocery store’s dairy case, and all consumers should purchase the products they most enjoy and feel good about.<br /><br />I hope this has helped!William D.

One of the problems with your answer and trying to convince us that rBST milk is safe, is that many many people don&#39;t trust the FDA. Have you looked into any of the other research out there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
